Incident in Centerville Ohio on March 6th, 2004.
Callers reporting electrical activity then reported seeing something in
the sky, an unknown object, hovering over a school with flashing lights.

An unusual event happened in Centerville, Ohio at approximately 5:30 a.m. Saturday morning March 6th, 2004.
Residents saw a UFO apparently interacting with power lines.

The extent of the interaction was explosive in nature, and also involved the burning of tree tops. Flame and 'glitter' from the trees were purported to continue for several hours after the event.

Those few residents of Centerville, Ohio who were up and about around
5:30 a.m. on Saturday morning, March 6th, 2004 were going about their
normal routines, waiting for daylight to break. Activity at police
dispatch headquarters, meanwhile, was anything but routine.

Phone lines began to light up with citizen complaints of bizarre
'flashing in the sky' and electrical disruptions that seized a large
area from Lakeview Drive to Bethel Road, Stone Lake and Linden. One
after another the calls came in.

"Centerville Police?" said the flustered police dispatcher to yet
another caller.

"Has the whole street called?" came the voice on the other line.

"Oh my God…" the caller could be heard exclaiming. "I saw it, it
was right over my house and it hovered down… I can't believe I'm saying
this! It looked like an ALIEN SHIP…!"

Needless to say, this morning would not be so routine at police
dispatch headquarters.

The resident on Lakeview Drive, later contacted for this report,
contends that a solid physical object was present in the skies near
Stingley Elementary School in Centerville. This object was hovering at
near treetop level and would interact with nearby power lines, causing
an arcing 'flash' that would send a powerful explosive report across the
sleepy and confused neighborhood.

9-1-1 Phone lines began to light up with citizen
complaints of bizarre
'flashing in the sky' and electrical disruptions that seized a large
area from Lakeview Drive to Bethel Road, Stone Lake and Linden. One
after another the calls came pouring in.

This detail is consistent with callers heard on the 9-1-1 police
tapes of the incident, obtained through the diligence of UFO
investigator Bruce M. Forrester, Jr., of Bellbrook, Ohio, in which area
residents inform of the sky lighting up and electrical disruptions.

One
caller said the source of the bright flashing was from somewhere 'near
Stingley school.

The Lakeview Drive resident who lives across from the school, and
who also observed the object with his wife, said: "This house-sized
object was a saucer-shaped metallic structure, polished aluminum surface
with alternating sets of rotating, flare-like lights. The two sets of
lights clearly rotated in opposite directions and were very bright,
consisting of several colors ranging from yellow, amber, white and blue.
There was no smoke or exhaust that I could see."

CALLER 3: "It looked like a freakin'
alien ship."

CALLER 3: "No, it was going to the power
lines... but it was... it hovered in... it came... I...I sound like
I'm insane right now, I can't believe I'm saying this! It hovered down
over the school and it was spinning lights and flashing."

This UFO was somehow interacting with power lines near Stingley
Elementary School, according to the primary claimant.

After each
blinding explosion the air pressure in the neighborhood would "change"
with a loud concussion, and at that point all the power would go out
across the neighborhood.

Following this disruption, the UFO would vanish
from its place at treetop level near the school. The same - or a
separate, identical object - would 'reappear' over an adjacent field as
the power in the region would slowly restore.

This object would then
assume a slow path and amble back toward the school to its previous
position where it would again explode with a flash after making some
kind of 'arcing' contact with the power lines. This procedure, as said
by the Lakeview Drive resident, would repeat several times.

Trees in the area were burnt during this drama, branches and
limbs were said by the Lakeview Drive witness to flame and 'glitter' for
several hours after the incident. The sparkling glitter was likened to
flashing 4th of July fireworks.

"I wish that there was a good explanation for this," said the
Lakeview Drive witness, a 25-year old father of a newly born baby and
working in 'financial services.' "It moved over the school and came down
in the field. I saw it raise and lower. I know it was controlled and I
wish I had somebody to come to my door and lay it on the line, just give
me a good answer for all this."

According to police logs obtained from the Centerville Police
Department, the station was swamped with the calls coming in at around
5:37 a.m. and police officers were dispatched to the scene shortly
thereafter.

Fire logs obtained from the Washington Township fire department
indicate that a fire truck was dispatched to the location at 5:48a.m.
and another unit sent at 5:58 a.m.

Making this situation a tad more interesting are reports that
emergency responders in the fire department ladder truck also saw the
UFO, and the gauges on their emergency vehicle 'went funny.'

"The firemen were repeatedly asking me for descriptions of what I
saw, and I told them and they said 'that's the same thing we saw.'"
According to Lakeview Drive resident, citing firemen and police officers
that loudly communicated with each other at the scene of the bedlam.

One area resident, standing in the midst of the hustle and
bustle, jokingly said: "It must be Osama Bin Laden."

"I told the two fire officers what I saw and asked them if I
sounded like a complete lunatic,"

said the Lakeview Drive resident. "He
told me that I was not a lunatic and that they saw it too,

and it made
the gauges in their truck go nuts."

Following this tantalizing lead, an inquiry was made to find out
if emergency responders were also witness to this UFO.

Telephone greetings to the Centerville Fire Department's "Station
41" about this issue were not warmly received, and the simple phone
call requesting some basic information on the March 6 dispatch was
rejected.

Lieutenant Sarah Lee, handling the inquiry to her department,
advised that she could not be of any help.

To the contrary,
the wagons were circling, the mote was being filled and hatches were
being battened down as it was announced that any incoming inquiry must
be made via "written request."

"Why don't you call Wright Patterson Air Force Base?" she said
after listening briefly to the weird 9-1-1 tape by telephone.

"Wright Pat can help you more than I can. Unfortunately, I cannot
answer any of your questions," then advised Lt. Lee of the Centerville
Fire Department. "It is routine procedure and policy for us to not 'give
out' information without proper authorization."

You'd think this was an inquiry to Ft. Knox about
their security methods.

Suddenly the operations and practices of this basic public agency
seemed to be operating like the Freedom of Information Office of the
super-secret "Blue Room" of Wright Patterson Air Force Base, the very
base the inquiry was referred to.

A friendly letter was then penned to Fire Chief Parks, basically
begging to be put in contact with the emergency responders who were on
the scene of the UFO incident on March 6th.

"I am not sure who gave you your information but it appears they
were aware of something we did not see or share in," said Fire Chief
Kenneth C. Parks in response to the plea.

Apparently, The Chief also did not take kindly to the request for
contact info with the emergency responders who were dispatched to the
scene on March 6: "Our people are required by policy to refrain from
discussing fire department actions without proper authorization. By
policy, their reports are their response to any questions, outside of
court action."

Chief Parks speaks and the specter of court action is now
vocalized. Courtesy, begging and pleading did no good, it seems, as the
firemen at the scene will continue to remain anonymous and,
interestingly, a friendly chat with a UFO investigator has been averted.
One for officialdom.

But before the curious reader might find refreshing the idea of
friendly openness and neighborly cooperation from the City of
Centerville and her hirelings, there is also the attitude of
Centerville's Assistant City Manager, Judy Gilleland.

Gilleland was unaware of the mass confusion of March 6 despite
assuring that she 'would be' aware of any such report as was described
to her. This assistant City Manager seemed to take little interest or
concern in the report of an object hovering over Stingley Elementary
School.

"I believe I would know about downed power lines and trees and
again, have heard nothing of the sort.

"Good news for us," she said before curiously adding: "perhaps
bad news for you?"

Assistant City Manager Gilleland, Fire Chief Parks and Lietenant
Lee were all advised that there should be some concern of radioactivity
near the site of Stingley Elementary School.

These public employees
clearly expressed a lethargic lack of motivation for the nature of the
event described by witness on March 6. Is this a dangerous complacency
that reeks of ultimate disregard for public safety in an uncertain time?
Could Homeland Security be any more proud?

There may or may not be a firm explanation for the object
described over Stingley school, but even if it were to have been some
classified military operation (Wright Patterson Air Force Base in
Dayton - Beaver creek is less than 19-miles northwest), there should be
some valid concern regarding a military operation so low over a
residential quarter and near a school. Many
residents believe that this object that was seen in the sky was somehow
interacting with power lines near Stingley Elementary School.

Further, the type of propulsion
method used on such a classified project and the possibility of
lingering radiation near the school could pose threatening conditions
for families and children in the areas of the school, Lakeview Drive,
Bethel Road and Linden Road. This is and should be a sober concern.

When notified of this concern and asked to undertake action to
check for radiation readings, the public officials of Centerville, Ohio
took no safety measures in response to the appeal for caution.

Instead, public hirelings in Centerville have dismissed this
episode as a case of 'wires arcing in high winds.'

An inquiry made with the National Weather Service at Wilmington,
Ohio revealed that although there was a high wind alert earlier on March
5th, high winds during the time of the reported incident were not an
issue.

Between 4 ? 5 a.m. on March 6th, 2004, temperatures and conditions
in Centerville, Ohio were in the mid 40s with winds out of the Northwest
at only 12 miles per hour. Not quite the high winds previously
reported.

Further complicating the 'high wind' dismissal would be comments
from a telephone receptionist at DP & L (Dayton Power & Light)
in which the cause of a power outages near Lakeview Drive on March 6 was
due to a "circuit lockout" that took place from 5:34 until 10:45 a.m.
resulting in service disruption, with no mention of high winds being
made.

As for the Lakeview Drive resident, he isn't very comfortable
with the situation.

"It's clear to me that something blew up there where the burnt
trees are," he said.

There is no transformer there to blow up. That
concerns me, given the magnitude of the explosion."

The incident early in the morning of March 6th, 2004 is
real. Multiple callers to police headquarters advised of an unusual
situation and upon arrival, emergency responders did address the
situation of arcing power lines along with downed tree limbs.

But
essentially the strangeness of this whole situation rests with the
testimony of the Lakeview Drive resident and his wife, both claim a very
sensational, physical and intelligently controlled object situated low
in the sky near Stingley school.

This is reflected on the emergency
9-1-1 police tapes as the caller considers his own words with disbelief
at what he is claiming to observe in the sky near his home. While others
in the neighborhood were indeed alarmed and also calling police
headquarters, they were only reporting generic 'flashing' in the sky
along with power disruptions.

The Lakeview Drive resident further
informs that officers with the fire department did tell him they saw
this object too, and the instrumentation on their vehicle was oddly
effected, Most unfortunately, and also quite curious, is that this
cannot be independently verified as per Chief Parks' unusually harsh
reference to court action.

And disturbingly, the Lakeview Drive resident also reports being
sick in the last week of March, feeling nausea with a headache, a
sickness he would describe as 'low blood sugar' even though he has never
been diagnosed with this sickness.

He also reports concern that his
infant has experienced hair loss, although this could be normal as
babies sometimes do lose their hair.
